Can't say exactly what I've been up to in the last few months. You can be assured that whatever was happening I did manage to get a few beers in.
The grisette glass is my oh FFS raspberry and pineapple sour. 10% raspberry and 10% pineapple. Raspberry overwhelms. It was meant to taste like a fruit salad chew.
Delicious nonetheless. That is a 50% pulp version so thick others are 10% pulp so I have a wide range of them 🙂
A friend gifted me a number of fullers vintage ales. The 2014 was better than 2018 so I've put the 2019+ ones to one side. Not sure I'm going to live till 2032 to enjoy them 😂
The vending machine is at the het Anker brewery hotel in Mechelen.
Re their gift shop their glasses and some beers were reasonably priced but the curve de kaiser bottles were 12e and we picked them up from vanuxeem for 6e
We were however able to try this and last year's special edition and decided not to bother... Batteliek and Margherita.
Then to Ypres where we suffered from cheese overload still it goes well with Belgian beer I ordered a 33cl but measure was more like 50cl so ordered another, same result except I was extremely merry 🤫
Once home My next visit to beerriff happened to be a verdant 10yr tto. There were around 8-10 verdant beers I couldn't do the board, so a visit the following day and a few takeaway cans.
Finally beerriff have a number of Vault city Halloween beers.
I'd advise against the blood and ink. If it can even be poured from the tap (which took ages for a 1/3rd)
Totally style over substance, low on fruit flavor and sourness and at least in the spirit of Halloween looks disgusting in the glass. -🤢 unless drinking lumpy caviar is your thing.
